Last week Anna and I attended The Global Member Care Network Conference here in Chiang Mai, along with 360 others from 40 countries. We were 4 people from InterAct. When the organizers began to organize this 1:st Worldwide Member Care Network Conference they hoped for 150 people.
It is clear that “the need of the day” is Member Care in Churches, missions and in NGOs. Not only to know how to keep the staff and that they will do a good job, but... also
that they grow spiritualy and mentaly
that they are equipped
and that threy also can be Care Givers to others.

This Global Member Care Network highlighted theories and truths, but mainly that with God`s and other's help we can: "Do the stuff". We all can be care-givers... out there in real life.
Member Care is more prevention and training than curative and to do rescue operations.
We returned very encouraged from this conference. Ingvar
